Abstract

A pericardial recess is frequently seen in patients undergoing chest computed tomography (CT). It is important to be aware of the normal anatomy of the pericardium as it is often mistaken for normal variants and/or disease. Therefore, we will describe the anatomy and location of the pericardial recess and the specific findings in various diseases associated with the pericardial recess.

심낭오목은 흉부 컴퓨터단층촬영을 받는 환자에서 종종 확인이 된다. 심낭은 종종 정상 변이나 질환과 오인될 수 있어 심낭의 정상 해부학 구조를 알고 있는 것이 중요하다. 그러므로 이 논문에서는 심낭오목의 해부학 및 위치 그리고 심낭오목과 관련된 다양한 질환에서 보일 수 있는 특징적인 소견에 대해 기술할 것이다.
